01

Getting Started

Simply fill out the quote form on our website or message us on WhatsApp. Send a few photos of the space and we'll get back to you within 2 hours with a no-obligation quote. For larger jobs, we may arrange a free site visit.
We cover Huntingdon and a 15-mile radius, including St Ives, Godmanchester, St Neots, Ramsey, Sawtry, Yaxley, Stilton, Alconbury, Buckden, Kimbolton, Warboys, Somersham, Fenstanton, Hemingford Grey, Brampton, and surrounding villages.
We typically offer same-week service, often within 2-3 days of booking. For urgent clearances, we can sometimes accommodate next-day requests depending on availability.

Yes, we require a 30% deposit to secure your booking, with the balance due on completion. We accept bank transfer and cash. Quotes are valid for 14 days.
No. We provide a fixed quote upfront based on the information you give us. The only time a price might change is if the actual job is significantly different from what was described (e.g., double the amount of items). We always discuss any changes before proceeding.
03

The Treasure Hunt

It's our unique selling point. Before we clear, we hunt for items with resale value — vintage tools, retro electronics, collectibles, etc. If we sell them within 30 days, you receive 30% of the net profit as a kickback. Learn more →
You don't owe us anything extra. The Treasure Hunt is a bonus — if items don't sell, your space is still clear. We take the risk on unsold items, not you.
Absolutely. During The Hunt, we'll show you anything we think has value. If you want to keep it, no problem — it's yours. We only take items you're happy for us to sell.
04

The Service

Not necessarily. If you prefer, you can provide key access and we'll work independently. This is common for probate clearances where the executor lives elsewhere. We'll keep you updated with photos throughout.
We prioritise reuse: valuable items are resold (with your kickback), usable goods are donated to local charities, recyclable materials go to appropriate facilities, and only what cannot be reused goes to licensed waste disposal. Our goal is zero to landfill.
Yes. We hold an Upper Tier Waste Carrier License from the Environment Agency (CBDU618952) and carry full public liability insurance. We provide Waste Transfer Notes for every job.
Yes. Our "Full Works" service covers full house clearances, often used for probate clearance or estate situations. These are priced individually based on the property size and contents.
Every Hunt 'n' Haul clearance includes a full sort-and-clear of the agreed rooms or spaces, careful loading and transport in our vehicles, responsible disposal through our four-stream system (Resell, Donate, Recycle, Dispose), and a Waste Transfer Note for your records. We handle furniture, appliances, clothing, general household items, garden waste, and most garage and loft contents. Our Treasure Hunt programme is included at no extra cost — we identify items with resale value and return 30% of profits to you.
You don't need to do much — that's what we're here for. A few things that help: let us know about any items you want to keep before we start, ensure we have access to all rooms and spaces being cleared, point out any fragile or sentimental items, and mention anything we should be aware of (e.g., loft access, parking restrictions). There's no need to sort or bag items beforehand — we handle all sorting as part of the service.

Is Hunt 'n' Haul Right For You?

We believe in being upfront. Hunt 'n' Haul might not be the right fit if: you need a same-day emergency clearance (we typically offer same-week service), you're looking for the absolute cheapest option with no concern for responsible disposal (a skip hire may suit you better), you need hazardous waste removal like asbestos, chemicals, or clinical waste (these require specialist contractors), or you're outside a 15-mile radius of Huntingdon.
It depends on your situation. A skip works if you have the time and physical ability to load it yourself, you don't mind everything going to landfill, and you don't have items with resale value. A professional clearance is better if you want responsible disposal, you suspect there are valuables mixed in, you need someone to do the heavy lifting, or you're dealing with a probate or bereavement situation. With Hunt 'n' Haul, our Treasure Hunt service can also offset your costs — something a skip can never do.
Man-with-a-van operators typically load and dump with no sorting, valuation, or care for responsible disposal. Hunt 'n' Haul is licensed (Environment Agency CBDU618952), DBS-checked, fully insured, and uses a four-stream sorting system (Resell, Donate, Recycle, Dispose). We provide Waste Transfer Notes for every job, and our Treasure Hunt service actively recovers value from your clearance. We're a professional service, not a budget removal.
